roughest cut in america//released as a first show teaser prior to 5/27/2022

lyrics

Clock kisses me like someone I know who escaped
Can't find my face, ground down by the stone
Tell me, who am I?
Promised structure, stability, the hours tally
My body ages by the second
Tell me, have I proved myself yet?
I used to recognize this passion, ground down in the gear
I fear old habits and questions without answers
This prison is objective: comforting and straightforward and keeping the lights on
Cowardice was never the goal
Yet I slapped away every hand with a key to help me get out
Now, in my own shadow, I can see
I am the only one who can set me free

Break my back for your wretched scheme
Betray my body and the bodies before me
Hook and hang me from the tile
Another worker for the pile
All love lost for the sake of what
Suckling mouths nip my empty cup
My spoons are naught, my mind is gone
in this psycho-capital phenomena

I’ve combed through the past like a masochistic analyst
Dusted off old resentments
I pin-point all the anger and the envy and the ghastly half-truths
And I bind them together and burn them whole
There is no room for the old skin, so I shed it openly
Scary to see the automaton break-down isn't it?
My peace of mind floods with my re-birthed synapses

"They all don't last" they whisper in my ear
For one more buck we will keep you here
This stick and carrot is so fucking old
Draw the curtains on this archaic show
La vita e bella if you have the guts
and I'm tired of prepping for the shunt
Let the quartet play, straight from the hip
I'll blow the nose off this sinking ship

Make them quake

And my eyes open from the blackout, how long has it been?
Months? Years?
Do I remember anything? Yes,
And when the bell tolls for the poisoned minds
I am here to say, finally, do not sacrifice
This cycle of fear closes and the fruits of my labor are now my own
I water them with care
And if I have one regret, it is this
That my power could be taken by societal abyss

And when I stand at the open door
Their bloody hands will reach no more
Let my scars lift me to the light
No longer a peon for the plight
My future self confronts the past
A foolish thing to think I'd last
at the beck and call of the vile clan
I'm the only survivor in the end
